Anybody wondering why the researchers used an internet-based solution to collect their remote sensor data has probably never tried to build out a local-area network in a remote mountaintop jungle in a war zone. Sheesh.

Negative, it supports my thesis that most people are ignorant about the world around them. It’s the same people that won’t think about whether they have DRL’s or automatic headlights, or plan for their upcoming exit instead of cutting across 3 lanes of traffic at the last moment.

If your engine is naturally aspirated and not high compression, running anything other than the recommended 87 is throwing money away. It’s that simple.

Agent Orange Foolius wouldn’t spit on them if they were on fire but these fucking morons worship him and call his name like he gives a fuck about them. He’s laughing at their gullibility and the rest of us are suffering from their lethal levels of stupidity.

This is because that group is the least educated and most ignorant one in this country. And when that ignorance and lack of education has been actively celebrated for the past 40 years, it’s going to take a large change in attitudes to flip the switch to intelligence and understanding.

I have a hand drill sized compressor in my car that I pull over and use…

Modern tires.

You’re right. What was this article about, again?

Agreed, we see about the same drop in FE when towing a not terribly large trailer. But it’s a lot more convenient to stop for petrol frequently than it would be to recharge a Lightning every 150 miles.

Exactly. We’re fucked. It’s just a matter of how fucked. And judging by how the world handled the pandemic, we’re really fucked.

I first heard about this last year on Chapo. It’s easily one of the most frightening things happening in the country. Corporations effectively directly prosecuting people they don’t like. This is the cyberpunk future, and it sucks

This has now hit the worst case scenario, BBC was reporting today about the Ganges being “bloated with corpses” as the unreported deaths there could be more than 10 times official numbers.

A good example is the wolf reintroduction into Yellowstone. Worked rather well.
